Well, in the interest of full disclosure... +3.5 in a week.

Now, I know I didn't eat 10,000 calories than I burned, so a good 1.5 to 2.5 pounds is probably water weight.  At least that makes me feel better.  This week was tough, with a Valentine's dinner and an out of town trip.  But it points out a factor about losing weight with Medifast that I'll have to be aware of-- you can pile it back on as fast as it comes off.

The key to success with this diet in particular is consistency.  The diet is low in calories and safely puts your body in fat burning mode, but if you don't transition off it in rational manner, you can gain it right back.  So the trick is to keep the eye on the prize.  Keep in mind why you are doing this and the weight will come off.

So, back on track.  So far, no cheating today!
